Actually, I had the exact same problem, when trying to compile it that way.
However, when compiling it the way the installation instruction suggest you
do it, it works just fine.  i.e. run ./configure --with-jdbc(?), and then run
make ; make install

It'll build the postgresql.jar file just fine then, without any errors, for
JDBC3.  Just make sure your JAVA_HOME is pointing to the correct directory,
as well as your ANT_HOME, and PATH environment for your Ant bin and JDK bin
directories.

Make sure you're using ANT 1.5.0 or higher, too.  1.5.1 works just fine.
